To what degree is privatized foster care increasing? Do schools take enough initiative to meet the educational needs of foster children? Do group homes help at-risk youth? This anthology asks tough questions about the various aspects of foster care. Includes primary and secondary sources. Debate essays include why children are in foster care to begin with, how group homes impact children, whether families should foster or adopt outside of their ethnicity, and the steps schools should take in making sure that foster children receive a great education.
